Official PACKERS vs. jags Gameday Thread

[arcilite]

Partial, the worst offense in the league? really? That is just a bunch of word vomit. I've heard drunks in bars put up more compelling arguments than that. Scott is right, this season was over weeks ago, the defense quit around 13 minutes left in the first quarter of the Saints game.

Dude, we average < 20 points a game now offensively. That is terrible. We had 1 touchdown today. 1. 1. One touchdown. Against one of the worst defenses in the league in rebuilding mode.

Are you kidding me?!? Our offense is abysmal. The scary thing is we have the deepest receiving corps with a top 5 one-two combo there, a decent RB that is healthy, and a pretty solid OL.

You tell me.

Yeah that solid OL and good RB sure helped Rodgers today by running for 56 yards on 21 carries against that horrible defense!

Brett's a winner. Just look how he led the Jets over the Bills today. He played lights out.

Hey, one of those picks was a dropped pass by Coles.. and his team actually wins games.

If we inverted our record, we would be as good as the Jets... except they're in the best division in football. Remember how Lurker and everyone after 2-3 weeks claimed Buffalo was one of the best teams in football?

Well, there are 4 very good teams in the AFC east. We're 5-9 in the worst conference in the NFL.

AFC east the best division?

I think the NFC south and NFC east would like to have a word with you.

Also all AFC east teams play the easiest 2 conferences of the league.

The perfect Patriots from last year are still stacked and very talented. Parcells, the mastermind who built the NFC East into what it is today is now controlling the Dolphins and has quickly built them into a contender (if they had a decent QB they'd be a sure fire playoff team), and of course the Bills were everyones early season favorites.

The division is very solid top to bottom. The NFC East is in my sincere opinion the best division, but the AFC East matches up quite well with them.

and our midget o-line couldn't get us a couple of inches when we needed it

Ummm... wrong again. I'm tired of correcting you on this. Before today, we averaged 22.5 points/game on offense--which was easily in the top 1/2 of the league.

Are we going to blame the defense again? This week they gave up a measley 20 points.

Our offense put up a pathetic 16 points, including 3 in the second half. A-Rod fumbled the ball on the 20 with a prime opportunity to score a TD to go ahead and win the game, and then also threw a pick to ice the game.

But I bet this one is on the defense again, right?

Like clockwork! Gotta love a defense that protects 4th quarter leads!!

Gotta love scoring enough points...

What about the offense in prime position to have two late touchdowns and ends up with 3 points instead of 14.. Gotta love a qb throwing a key pick and fumbling a key 2nd down play...

Gotta love a RB that can't catch the ball. This proves your hate for Arod that you just refuse to blame anyone else for the losses. Grant drops a TD pass that would have given them 7 pt lead and it's all ARod's fault again. I just don't know how you rationalize that.

[arcilite]

Is it just me or does Brandon Jackson just seem to have a burst that Ryan Grant doesnt?

I want more Jackson

[TennesseePackerBacker]

I just don't understand all the Favre love. I wonder if 49'ers fans were like this when they dumped Montana for Young. I don't think Young was any more of a proven commodity than Arod is when the Packers made their decision. Hopefully it works out favorably for the Pack, but I just don't understand how people can't see that Favre is on his way out. The Packers made a smart long term move, and unless Brett Favre can kick field goals, play defensive line, and provide depth in several lacking positions, then we don't need him.

Suck it up whiners.

There you go again, Harv, blurring the fantasy with facts!

Get ready for some losing seasons.

But he inspired our defense!

[Cheesehead Craig]

The last part of the 4th Q was the perfect microcosm of this season:

Defense couldn't stop a team when it mattered
Special Teams couldn't make a play
Offense didn't do enough to win
Offensive playcalling was poor

Whole lotta blame to go around for this game and this season.

[digitaldean]

I second that one. Brandon Jackson should be utilized more than the token screen play that everyone and their uncle can figure out.

He threw an INT in the final drive of the game. Good QB's like Favre would never throw an INT during the final drive of the game. I mean Favre would never, ever, not in a million years would he...

So when we're talking about Favre it's ok to blame other teammates for mistakes, but when talking about Arod it's not? WTF?

[gbgary]

we needed to work the ball down the field and MM called a deep pass with guys back there to defense it. i don't blame AR...i blame MM and continue to call for his head.
